Destruction caused by thunderstorm answer in 10 point
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Cyclones are associated with high-pressure gradients and consequent strong winds. These, in turn, generate storm surges.
A storm surge is an abnormal rise of sea level near the coast caused by a severe tropical cyclone; as a result, sea water inundates low lying areas of coastal regions drowning human beings and live- stock, eroding beaches and embankments, destroying vegetation and reducing soil fertility.
Very strong winds may damage installations, dwellings, communication systems, trees., etc. resulting in loss of life and property.
Heavy and prolonged rains due to cyclones may cause river floods and submergence of low lying areas by rain causing loss of life and property.
Floods and coastal inundation due to storm surges pollute drinking water sources causing outbreak of epidemics
